Hold on to your hats as our fearless leader finds himself defending our beloved monolithic application against new kid(s) on the block, The JAMstack.

For the last two years I’ve been listening in from the backseat as so many of you in my Twitter stream talk about the hype of technologies like Gatsby and CMS’s like Statatmic. I felt it would be premature if I jumped right on to that hype train at the time, and while the ride is picking up steam more than ever, I’d say it’s still not ready for your everyday user.

Today’s episode is my take on a three-way “argument” over WordPress vs JAMStack, and what that means for us, the users of the software.
